A constant and sustainable supply of land is essential for economic growth.  Populations will grow and with it the land demand for housing, businesses and for other uses such as schools, transport, utilities and green open spaces. It is a genuinely scares resource, and as such, will never be available in sufficient quantity to produce goods and services to satisfy all human wants.

Its re-use should therefore be one of our highest priorities, and yet there are still a significant number of sites that remain unused, unsold or undeveloped due to the legacy of their former use or as a consequence of market failure. Left unresolved, this not only creates urban blight but can also increase environmental risk and become a major barrier to sustainable regeneration - it will ultimately place greater pressure on the use of greenfield sites.

Whether you are a developer seeking development opportunities, a local authority left with an inherited liability, a site owner wishing to decommission and move premises or a utility body seeking to deal with environmental risk responsibly, there will be a common theme to all – a desire to clearly understand the risks involved and the financial consequences of any proposed action or inaction.
